Baa Baa Black Sheep

Black is a reoccurring favorite in my wardrobe. A classic, timeless, simple color that often flatters everyone - you just cannot go wrong. While I still wear a lot of black during the summer, this time of year is when I often grab my black basics for everyday wear or for days when I want to elevate my outfit.

Of course, I may have also been inspired a bit after bookmarking the fluffy sheep following my stay at the Thyme hotel in the Cotswolds. So this post is a bit of a nod to him. There are plenty of black pieces on my mind for the upcoming season, so a quick round-up was in order! And I couldn’t pass up a few home goods as well…

Beautiful Things Worth Noting No.15

Hope everyone’s week has been going well! The heatwave in DC has finally left and we’re enjoying the 70s now. Though still warm, it’s a gentle reminder that the cooler weather is on the horizon and fall will be here before we know it! It’s been so nice being back to creating again and it helps that I have so many things on my wishlist for the season! For now, a few beautiful things worth noting. There is plenty more where this came from!

Speaking of, I’ve been rearranging a few things here and there, and decided to move my “shop” over to a new platform. It’s much easier for me to add to on the go and customize, plus I can include both commissionable links and anything else! I’ve created a collection for each room of my apartment and for recent finds/items on my wishlist. Everything is now over on ShopMy. I’m thinking ahead and will most likely be using this new platform to share holiday gift guides this year… can you believe we’re almost there?!

As always, I’m endlessly thankful for each of you that visit my site. And I am so grateful when you choose to shop through my links! It takes a lot of time to curate my posts and create roundups for you, so know that your support means a lot!

worth noting

Late Summer, In the Garden

From royal grounds, to quaint English countrysides, to thoughtfully designed gardens filled with green herbs, beautiful flowers, topiaries, and pea graveled paths… I haven’t been able to stop thinking about all the inspiration I brought home with me from our latest England adventures. I’m dreaming up a beautiful, quiet garden escape to call my own one day.

Though my mind is easily drifting off into thoughts of fall, it’s still very much summer until the 23rd, and I must say… this time of year is one of the best to take advantage of our outdoor spaces. As I was doing my usual scroll of Chairish the other day, I couldn’t help but fall into a deep deep hole of garden goods. And this space is good for make believe! My future garden would be filled with old iron or wicker furniture, antique ornaments decorated about, baskets galore, and patinated urns and planters. And now, I present to you a plethora of Chairish finds I don’t have the budget for but am extremely inspired by.
